You close the subpath then you implicitly start one because you didn't call CGContextMoveToPoint() when you add the next arc, that path starts from the original starting point of the old subpath (which is functionally exactly the same as the endpoint). So the new subpath starts with a line to the start of your new arc from the start of the previous path. If you don't want that, do the move. There's a difference between a context with no path at all and a context which already contains subpaths, closed or not. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
